  2.                      THIS LIVING HAND, NOW WARM AND CAPABLE
  3.                                  by John Keats
  4.  
  5.         This living hand, now warm and capable
  6.         Of earnest grasping, would, if it were cold
  7.         And in the icy silence of the tomb,
  8.         So haunt thy days and chill thy dreaming nights
  9.         That thou wouldst wish thine own heart dry of blood
  10.         So in my veins red life might stream again,
  11.         And thou be conscience-calm'd- see here it is-
  12.         I hold it towards you.
